The Kaduna State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party has disowned former governor Nasir El-Rufai, stating that he is not a recognized member of the party in Kaduna State.

The PUNCH online reports that El-Rufai and some member of the All Progressives Congress dumped the ruling party for the SDP.

The former governor cited a growing misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC as the primary reason for his decision.

El-Rufai in a press statement released on his X handle expressed his disappointment with the APC’s leadership, accusing the party of straying from the progressive ideals of its founding members.

“As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have fond memories of working with other compatriots to negotiate the merger of political parties that created the APC. Since 2013, I have hoped that my personal values and those of the APC will continue to align until I choose to retire from politics.”

However, at a press conference held in Kaduna on Friday, the party’s Assistant National Secretary, Northwest zone, Idris Inuwa, emphasised that El-Rufai’s entry into the party remained a rumor as he has yet to follow due process.

“It has come to our notice that certain individuals, including Nasir El-Rufai, are being rumored to have joined the SDP. However, neither the Chairman of the Kaduna North Local Government Chapter in Kaduna State, nor the leadership of Unguwar Sarki ward, has any record of these memberships,” Inuwa said.

Inuwa, therefore, advised El-Rufai and his cohorts to follow proper procedures if they wish to officially become members of the party.

“We advise him and any other interested individuals to follow the proper procedures if they wish to officially become members of the party,” he said.

Inuwa also rejected the purported dissolution of the Kaduna State Working Committee of the SDP, stating that it is unconstitutional and an affront to the principles of due process and internal democracy.

“The Kaduna State Executive Committee of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) categorically rejects the purported dissolution of the State Working Committee as contained in a letter from the National Secretariat dated 25 February, 2025,” Inuwa said.

Inuwa emphasized that the Kaduna State Executive Committee is a product of a duly conducted State Congress and holds a four-year mandate that remains valid and binding.

He added that the SDP constitution clearly outlines the process and procedure for dissolving a State Executive Committee, which includes initiating an investigation, setting up a committee, and providing a fair hearing transparently.

“The Kaduna State Executive Committee is the legitimate outcome of a duly conducted State Congress, reflecting the will of the party members and adhering strictly to the party’s constitutional provisions. This body holds a four-year mandate that remains valid, binding, and legally recognised throughout its tenure.

“The SDP constitution state very clearly the process and procedure to follow in dissolving a State Exco; which includes but limited to initiating an investigation, setting up committee, providing fair hearing transparently before a decision is taken; none of this was done-only the resort to the illegal unilateral letter of dissolution,” Inuwa said.

Inuwa concluded by emphasising that the Kaduna State SDP remains open and welcoming to all prospective members who adhere to the established procedures.

“While we recognize the growing interest of individuals and groups in joining the SDP, we emphasise that there are well-defined guidelines and constitutional provisions governing membership admission. The State Executive Council (Exco) remains open and welcoming to all prospective members who adhere to these established procedures,” he added.

Propaganda no dey tire una?

Make una save una energy.

You are going to need a lot of energy to tell all the lies and propaganda in 2027.

But they will amount to zero.

If we vex sef, we go tell Obi to align with Elrufai and see if Tinubu won’t be scotched out of Aso Rock.

This is injustice against El-Rufai. They must allow him to join SDP by fire by force.

We need that third force badly and El-Rufai must continue to gather the coalition.

President Tinubu should intervene and ensure the coast is clear for El-Rufai in SDP.

Lol, there is nothing your 5% votes can do. Even if you align with El-Rufai, the last thing they will give you is the VP slot.

If Jagaban lose in 2027 (Impossible) and Obi becomes VP, anytime the power is to come Southward, the Hausa/Fulani will still vote for a Yoruba man over you guys.

You don't understand Nigeria. You have to accept your fate that you guys are political minority. Your highest worth is VP and Senate president, that is the highest level Nigeria design for you to reach.

Even if an Ibo man will be president (i.e., when we the political majority decide), we will not give it to that Agulu fraud Obi. Soludo, Umahi, & Otti will be a better fit.

I don't pity El-Rufai one bit, he carried Tinubu like gala for head during election and I kept on asking myself " is it that this man doesn't know who he is supporting or he has something in return for the support?"

A man who became governor in 1999 like every other governor only to remain governor for over 20 years and that was the person you saw as the best to hand over presidency to, I personally feel Tinubu has what I call a compulsive power disorder more like an obsession for power.

I constantly told his supporters that you people don't even know the person you are supporting and I've seen a whole lot of them regretting supporting him.

Tinubu is all about himself, he doesn't care about anybody not even the Yorubas or his supporters

I don't believe All these coalition stuff will remove Tinubu, they don't know who they are dealing with except something out of place happens or they have something superior to what Tinubu has as game plan but if they planning on ordinary election they might just be on a very long thing- Tinubu is a power obsessed human being who would rather watch everything get destroyed to remain in power

He's now a political orphan. Obi supporters have pushed him to the grave.

Well, Kowa self no go gree you because nobody want/like wahala.

Omo life na turn by turn....what ever music you play today for others to dance.

others will play music for you to dance one day.

WICKED... TAKE NOTE.

Lmao, dem sabi who him be😂😂😂

He has absolutely nothing to offer them except to come soil their party for them…

I overrated this guy. Is it not at the ward level you join a party?

I see El rufai and Peter Obi betraying the new lightweight merger because of ego.

Meanwhile, no more intellectual discussion any more on nairaland? It is now a gossip blog promoting content creators like Peter Obi and Elrufai.

Southern Kaduna people should just sit down,relax and enjoy how Igbo people will defend el rufai to stupor.



Igbo Just used Christianity to push for their own ethnic agenda.
Telling southern kaduna Christians that OBI is coming to save them

The midget is on a long thing....

Serves him right, the short devil deserves to learn in the hard way . He must learn some bitter lessons.

He never registered and him dey drag d party from d owners.
He's now imposing himself.
Indeed Tinubu saw future to be able to silence this guy.

Lol

Egbe elsesin. MKO is our man o Kingibe is our man o. SDP is a decoy.

Those big-shot politicians are just too proud. They always prefer to operate at the national level, forgetting that it all starts from the grassroots. He should have joined at his ward, then moved to the local government, and from there to the state level before getting to the national stage. That’s the proper way to do it, but his ego won’t let him follow due process.

Tinubu boys have arrived!!
That's how the crises would begin and it'll continue until after 2027 elections.
It's about to gooo doooooooooooooown!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
